This week we spent a lot of time in Old Town because we have had a lot of service opportunities there. The first two were pretty simple. We helped set up and take down for an earth day event they hosted. We pitched a lot of canopies that we built and staked down. It was fun work, and we helped them out a lot. They told us it would have taken their crew like 8 hours to do it, but we got it done in about two. The next service was helping with one of the gardens they have in Old Town. We helped clean up the area and dig motes around all of the trees they have in the garden.
The highlight of this last week was the baptism of someone the other Elders have been teaching. Her name is Clarissa! She is a super sweet lady that has really gotten to know all of the missionaries in the ward because we have all been very involved with her and helping her learn and prepare. She was baptized this last Saturday and confirmed a member Sunday. It was one of my favorite days here in City Heights so far! All of us Elders sang I am a Child of God during the baptismal service, and we didn't sound half bad!
And today for pday, Clarissa has access to a lot of free Sea World tickets, and she wanted to take ALL the missionaries in the ward! Like holy cow there are a lot of us! But yeah, we'll be doing that with her today! I'm super excited!
I love you all and I hope you have a fantastic week!
